City’s 1929 Fire Truck to Get a Face Lift!

A piece of Cedar Springs history is being given new life!  The City’s pride and joy, the old 1929 Model A Fire Engine is going to be brought back to its original glory through the efforts of Carl and Rich Straub, owners of Pro Autoworks, in Cedar Springs.

Fire Chief Marty Fraser announced plans for the refurbishment of the vintage fire truck at a recent City Council meeting.  The Straubs plan to do a quality restoration job complete with the truck’s original gold leaf and brass ornamentation.  They estimate it will take about 200 man hours and approximately $7,500.00 to bring the vehicle to museum quality.  “The preservation of this truck is important to all of us as well as the community,” they said.

The Straubs as well as members from the Cedar Springs Fire Department will be taking donations toward the restoration’s expenditures.  Those wishing to make a donation, may contact Fire Chief Marty Fraser at 616.813.6209 or by email at mfraser.csfd@gmail.com   Donations may also be dropped off at Cedar Springs City Hall.  All donations are tax exempt and receipts will be issued.

To begin the fund raising campaign, members from the Cedar Springs Fire Department will be participating in the Chamber of Commerce’s Community Celebration Day August 11th.  They will be holding a car wash at the Fire Station on Maple Street and offering area children the opportunity to see the station’s fire trucks up close and personal as well as getting some hands on experience with a fire hose!
